Chapter 1: I Became Artoria!

Ah, such a comfortable bed.

 

I really don't want to wake up, but the sun's rays are pouring through the window towards my face. Seriously, there goes my comfortable sleep.

 

With a sigh, I slowly stand up. My body and mind are still quite sleepy. I stretch hard and feel parts of my body creak and smile in satisfaction. I turn my body to get out of bed, but strangely, instead of feeling the floor, I keep feeling the bed under my legs.

 

What the hell? I don't remember my bed being that big. I live alone and my bed is single so it can't be that big.

 

I massage my eyes, and my mind finally clears, and when I opened them, they immediately widened. I wasn't on top of my cheap single bed, or rather, I wasn't even in my damn room!

 

The bed I'm lying on is HUGE! It fits at least five people in it! Not to mention the sheets and pillows that seem to be top notch. This was the kind of bed that only rich people or royalty can get their hands on!

 

But it wasn't just the bed, the entire room was huge, and it looked like it was straight out of a Victorian-era fantasy tale! It had a big marble fireplace, chandeliers that looked like they were made of gold, a rug made of animal skin I don't know about, and many other things that are probably worth more than the entire fortune of the last three generations of my family!

 

"Where the hell am I?!"

 

I quickly began to hyperventilate in panic, and countless thoughts flooded my mind. My heart started to speed up like a race car, and realizing I was close to a panic attack, I forced my thoughts to stop and took a deep breath.

 

"Inhale, exhale... That's right Ange, calm down..."

 

After a few minutes, I managed to calm down. Now, this room is definitely not mine, so what am I doing here? Let's remember, what did I do last night.

 

Hmm... I remember going for a drink to forget about the 100th audition I failed. Well, I can only blame myself for wanting to be an actress. After that I remember that I opened my cell phone to play FGO while walking down the street towards my house, and by doing a random summon I managed to summon Artoria Pendragon (Lancer), one of my favorite characters.

 

I was very happy and started jumping for joy. This wouldn't have been a problem if I hadn't been drunk. You see, that day they were cleaning the neighborhood's sewers, and because of that, they left the sewer covers open; as you might expect, while i was jumping around drunk i fell into the sewer. All I remember after that is feeling a pain in my neck and then nothing. Just darkness.

 

Someone rich person rescued me and brought me to their house? That would be amazing, it would be like the story of a prince saving a princess from a dragon, only in my case, it would be saving me from the sewer.

 

As I was having my internal monologue, the bedroom door opened and, turning around to see who had entered, I couldn't help but be amazed again.

 

A girl who looks to be about sixteen with short black hair walked in, and she was dressing like a maid. Well, that's not such a surprising thing to see after seeing the room I was in. What was surprising about the girl, however, were her two cat-like ears on her head and a black tail that was gently waving behind her.

 

Does she like cosplay or some shit?

 

"Excuse me, Your Majesty. It's breakfast time." The maid catgirl said as she bowed.

 

Your Majesty? Is anyone else in the room? I looked around again, but there was no one there but me and the maid catgirl.

 

"Your Majesty? Is everything okay?" The maid catgirl says lifting her head. Wait, why is she looking at me?

 

"By Your Majesty... Do you mean me?" I said while pointing at myself.

 

"But of course. Who else would it be? Is something wrong, Your Majesty?"

 

"..."

 

Is this girl fucking with me or something?

 

I sighed. "Listen girl, I don't know what joke this is, but...", before I could finish what I wanted to say, I accidentally looked to the side, and saw a mirror, and in it, I saw my reflection.

 

In the reflection, I was no longer the usual brown-haired, honey-eyed girl. What I see is a divinely beautiful woman with long golden hair and green eyes that have a strange but beautiful golden light beneath them. Now that I pay attention to it, my voice is also completely different from my original voice.

 

How the hell did I not notice this before?

 

I couldn't believe my eyes, so I pinched my cheeks while looking at myself in the mirror. Unsurprisingly, I felt pain, and the reflex did the same as I did.

 

This is bullshit...no fucking way...

"Your Majesty, should I call a doctor?"

 

Oh shit! Forgot the maid catgirl is still here! I turned to her and saw her looking at me strangely. Shit, let's put the other stuff aside, I need to get rid of her first!

 

Using my acting experience, I immediately put on a stoic and dignified expression. Well, at least I hope it looks that way. "Ehem! It won't be necessary. Bring my breakfast here, today I feel like eating in bed."

 

I think it worked, as the maid catgirl smiled as if her doubts had been resolved.

 

"As you wish. I will bring your breakfast immediately, Your Majesty!"

 

The maid catgirl bows again in respect and closes the door. I immediately relax on my bed with a sigh. What the hell is happening?

 

Wait, this situation is all too familiar, don't tell me... Did I really die after falling into the sewer and reincarnate as someone else? Now that I think about it, my current appearance and voice are very familiar for some reason.

 

Using my new voice and appearance as a clue, I started to wonder if I was reincarnated into some novel or anime character I know, or someone completely random. It didn't take long to find out who I was now.

 

"I... I reincarnated as Artoria?! This... This is amazing!!"

 

Holy hell! Who could have imagined that I would become one of the characters I love the most after I died? If I had known this sooner, I would have died sooner!

 

Wait, maybe do I also have something like a system? Let's try it!

 

I started trying to call a system in every way I knew how, but nothing came of it. I sighed in disappointment. If I don't have a system, maybe a status tab?

 

 'Status'

 

When I called Status internally, it actually showed up!
